This is a book for viola students in their first few years of learning.

Pieces 1 to 3 are intended for those at about Grade 1;
Pieces 4 to 6 are for those working at Grade 2;
Pieces 7 to 9 suit those at Grade 3.

My pupils see a duet as a treat and, if I’m honest, I look forward to those bits of our lessons too. Maybe you feel the same? For that reason, the viola 1 part can be accompanied either by

• • • • Another violist playing the Viola 2 part
             Or
      • A pianist playing the pull-out piano part

To help you, this book provides free recordings of the pieces (see button above) and, if you want to add them to a playlist of other works you are learning, you can also find them on streaming platforms like Spotify (just search for my name and the name of the piece).
